what was difficult about learning it?

Answer 1

Success spawns from a great want or need. We are born with talents, but a person's choice to have a good 'Attitude' is the best asset one can have.

Answer 2

Swimming.

To be successful at it, you have to overcome a fear of water, be able to open your eyes w/o googles on when your head is under and know basic life saving techniques, such as if a person is drowning, don't jump in to save them because they will pull u under. Instead, extend something, a towel or a long stick, to them.

The most difficult part for me was learning how to move my arms correctly when I do the strokes. I'm 24 and still havent quite mastered it.
